Question

An RTD is assumed to be represented in the range 0C to 100°C by a linear model as
RT=R0(1+0.004T)
where T is the temperature in °C. R0=100Ω with a variation of ±2Ω The true model of the RTD is
RT=R0(1+0.004T+6×107T2) The worst-case error magnitude in the resistance value that will be introduced, if the linear model is used over a range of 0 to 100°C is

Solution

The correct option is D 3.4Ω
True value at 100°C,

R100C=R0(1+0.004T+6×107T2)

=100(1+0.004×100+6×107×1002)

=140.6Ω

Value of R0=100±2Ω=98Ω,102Ω

Rla=R0(1+0.004T)

=98(1+0.004×100)=137.2Ω

=Rlb=R0(1+0.004T)

=102(1+0.004×100)=142.8

Worst error =(140.6137.2)Ω=3.4Ω
